I’m not in nyc/la and I charge 800.

500 is actually low enough that clients will assume you are inexperienced and may kill the gig

I wonder if that’s what has been killing my opportunities. I live in a small market so rates are lower normally. But this may be a push to go higher.

Nope, day rates are $500-800

I charge $1200 in nyc. I’m not sure if theatrical marketing is different than straight up commercial editing though? (That’s what I do).

I was charging 500/day cutting promos in LA nearly 20 years ago at age 25. 500 for you, now, is way low.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
